Wouldn't there be license conflicts with that anyway, as OpenSSL is  
BSD while Vortex is LGPL? (I'm not really clear on this, as normally I  
try to stay as far away from *GPL'd code as possible, Vortex being a  
rare exception.)

That sounds like a really good reason not to combine static and  
dynamic linking! Is there a reason against making OpenSSL a DLL that  
both Vortex and your app code link against?
